§ Mrs. Shirley Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give figures for the number of places to be provided and the costs of the major school building programmes for 1965–66 and 1966–67, showing the distribution of each in terms of primary and secondary schools, respectively, and the proportion devoted to providing roofs over heads and to improvements to existing buildings, respectively.
§ Mr. M. StewartThe following tables give the figures, except that the number of places cannot be assessed until final plans for the individual projects have been agreed. Further projects will be approved later to bring each programme to the value of £80 million.
for the five years 1960–61 to 1964–65 is approximately £330 million. Of this, about half represents the provision of essential extra places and half the improvement or replacement of existing accommodation, including the reorganisation of all-age schools.
